Relaxation of Restrictions, Part XII *Read OP For Mod Warnings*

It will be interesting what the % is with Omicron and with boosters, will the well of people unvaccinated dry up as infections spread or will the boosters and Omicron reduce the vaccinated % being hospitalised.

Either way, the same posters will keep trying to muddy the waters by pushing the false "can't be vaccinated narrative" even though it's been debunked multiple times (it's usual for them to slink away for a few days and then come back with the same, so you know they know that they are lying).

Oh, I wasn't aware that hospitalisations were shooting up.

Here is the hospitalization data for the last 5 days (i.e. those in hospital on that date due to Covid19) :

2021-12-25: 378

2021-12-26: 426

2021-12-27: 461

2021-12-28: 521

2021-12-29: 568

So an increase of 50.3% over the course of less than one week.

These are official government statistics which can be found here: https://covid19ireland-geohive.hub.arcgis.com/pages/hospitals-icu--testing

7 day admissions are 40 a day, a week ago it was 35. Something is feeding hospital figures, lack of discharges over the Christmas period and then obviously people testing positive in hospital for other reasons etc..

You only have to look at hospital beds available over the Christmas period, 1500 free beds on Stephen's day, down to about 700 as of last night. So at least 800 non covid admissions, how many of them could have tested positive? England estimated 1 in 35 had covid last week.... That's statically 33 of them would test PCR positive to match the community. I've a feeling we've probably a higher rate than England.

The source for that 90% claim was "anecdotal evidence from some NHS trusts".

So that all seems very legit and Boris is completely trustworthy, of course.

Then again, considering the data coming out showing that double vaccinated people are significantly more likely than unvaccinated people to be infected with Omicron, and assuming (generously) that boosters are effective for more than a few weeks, and also assuming that the fears of the health professionals worrying about the effect of so many repeated doses of the available vaccines on the immune system are unfounded, then yeah, maybe Boris bullshitting to national propaganda outlets that will uncritically run with the 90% headline in order to scare people into being boosted is totally warranted.

65% of all "Covid hospitalisations" in the UK in the 2 weeks prior to December 21st were incidental findings. Probably more now. The severe illness and death rates are much lower, and hospital stays short, based on all evidence available from countries that are making it available.

The main concern in the UK right now is healthcare workers isolating while asymptomatic or only very mildly ill, causing staff shortages.

I hear you 😏 but how predictable another cohort being blamed , I give it a week and HSE Will start blaming Non Boosted for clogging up hospital's, Anne O Connor (HSE chief Spin Doctor) on morning Ireland saying they are coping really well 🙄

Look how serious the government departments take this virus....couldnt give a fùck.....

Also interesting to note that the government mouthpiece RTE report this story without showing the actual photo.....

Edit: RTE are now showing the photo..but for the first few hours of the story they didnt show the pic...

Thats either pure incompetence or not wanting to highlight that RTE were at the same thing or not wanting to upset their paymasters

sacré bleu 😁

Has this been confirmed anywhere?

Has he?

He will blow with the wind.
